In adults with congenitalheartdisease (ACHD patients), atrial arrhythmias (AA) and heart failure (HF) are common. 1 Factors related to congenitalheartdisease, such as underlying anatomy, surgical repair technique and scars, can all be considered as AA substrates.
Background Atrial arrhythmias (AA) and heart failure (HF) are major causes of hospitalisation in adult congenitalheartdisease (ACHD). Dates of first AA and HF presentations were documented, and outcomes of RFA, including acute and long-term success, were assessed.
No previous reports have documented the coexistence of congenital absence of the RCA and complete AV block in the same patient.Case summariesCase 1 was a 52-year-old man with no significant past medical history who experienced syncope. The prevalence of complete atrioventricular (AV) block also appears to be low.
Congenitalheart defects are the most common type of birth defect, affecting 1% of live births. The underlying cause of congenitalheartdisease is frequently unknown. Each syndrome is associated with specific congenital and acquired comorbidities and a particular clinical risk profile.
Objective This study assessed the long-term effects of triple therapy with prostanoids on patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenitalheartdisease (PAH-CHD), as there is limited information on the safety and efficacy of this treatment approach.
Pathogeneses include connective tissue disorders, smooth muscle contraction disorders, and congenitalheartdisease, including bicuspid aortic valve, among others. The American Heart Association has published guidelines for diagnosis and management of thoracic aortic disease.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundGaps in care (GIC) are common for patients with congenitalheartdisease (CHD) and can lead to worsening clinical status, unplanned hospitalization, and mortality.
Right Heart Catheterization in Tetralogy of Fallot With the availability of high resolution echocardiographic images and Doppler echocardiography, role of cardiac catheterization has come down in tetralogy of Fallot and other congenitalheartdiseases in general.

The P wave is positive in lead aVL of ECG #3, which means it is a low atrial (or probably coronary sinus) rhythm — which of itself is not necessarily “abnormal” in a child if there is no other sign of underlying heartdisease. Accelerated ventricular rhythm in children: a review and report of a case with congenitalheartdisease 3.
It was reported clinically by Sir Thomas Lewis a year later, who characterized the phenomena as occurring, “either when the heart muscle is normal but the heart rate is very fast or when there is serious heartdisease and the rate is normal”.
It has been reported that the estimated burden of congenitalheartdisease (CHD) in Ghana approximates 372 per million population , a disproportionally high number due to the higher fertility rate in the country relative to other countries in the Region. million people, with 10.95 million children (38.8%
This patient was reported to have distant heart sounds but was not hypotensive and did not have JVD according to documentation. Beck’s triad only happens all 3 together in approximately 1/3rd of patients. Smith comment : First, IV fluids are indicated to improve preload.
Methods We included adult patients who had undergone Fontan surgery for congenitalheartdisease and were pregnant between 1994 and 2021. Conclusions Over one-third of women with Fontan physiology in our cohort had a documented pregnancy. We examined maternal and obstetric outcomes.
Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundIndividuals with genetic syndromes can manifest both congenitalheartdisease (CHD) and cancer attributable to possible common underlying pathways.
BackgroundWhile several studies have explored the outcomes of transcatheter interventions for modified Blalock–Taussig shunts (MBTSs) in a broad range of congenitalheartdiseases, none have specifically examined the interventions in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) who underwent Norwood palliation (NP).MethodsThis
